Liverpool’s medical team say they will do all they can to get Fernando Torres fit for Saturday’s Merseyside derby with Everton.

The Spain striker is back on Merseyside after being ruled out of Spain’s Euro 2008 qualifier with Denmark on Saturday with a thigh problem.

Thigh problem: Torres

A Liverpool spokesman said: ‘Fernando was assessed by the club’s medical staff this morning and underwent a scan which confirmed an adductor injury. ‘He will now undergo intensive treatment at Melwood [the club’s training ground].’

Torres, the club’s record signing, has scored four goals in eight Premier League games since moving to Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in the summer.
